Christmas trees and bling!

A new stamp set just fell into my paws at Ally Pally on Sunday so of course I had to have a little play :) I love the sentiment in this Woodware set and can see it be used to bits in the run-up to Christmas:

I made just two cards - running out of suitably coloured really large pearls and gems to ring the changes. It was good fun exhilarating (today's big word) playing with the 'bling combinations' to make these and I'll be making more once I manage to get time to nip into HC and look at what they have. Small buttons would look good too but I don't have the right sizes and combinations of colours of those either - at the moment :)

This is a Great image and sentiment too.. I can't pick which one I like better the browns or the Pinks, both are beautiful!! You are so right a mix of bling and bottons would look great too!Great find!

Gorgeous cards Di. I love a bit of bling at Christmas. Last year I made a run of cards using the matching bubble wreath and baubles stamps, and they were fun to 'bling up' as well. Make them every colour of the rainbow and I bet they will all look good. Kate x

What beautiful cards, Di. A very different take on Christmas cards - lovely fluid, organic designs, and great to have un-Christmassy colours for once. These are sure to stand out. I like the font used for the sentiment, too - works very well with the design. Funny how things just hop into your hands at craft shows, isn't it. If you look at my blog post on the Creative Stitches & Hobbycrafts show, you'll see how much hopping things did for me in Exeter on Friday lol!!

WOW!!!!!! Di these are amazing!!! What a perfect combination of bling! Stunning!Thanks for your lovely comments yesterday,I'm thinking I might do a little tutorial for the rectangular/square gift card,what do you think?Wishing you an Exhilarating day tomorrow ;)Julie x

Lovely cards Di - that tree stamp is gorgeous, just a bit different and the bling is perfect. I've used them all up now, but I did find, somewhere locally, a pack of bubble wrap envelopes in white that were ideal for posting out embellished cards - they were lightweight too so didn't push up the postage. That's it ... I'm on a mission to search and find now - will let you know if I'm successful :) Elizabeth x

These are lovely Di. Funny how those things just seem to fall into our shopping baskets. I have a wonderful coupon for Michael's and a gift card. I'll be out the door in 15 minuets. Yahoo! Have an amazing weekend.HugsBernie

Have had terrible problems the past coupleof days trying to comment, here's to another try after messing about a bit.Love this stamp and the colours you have used with it, the pearls look gorgeous and give a lovely dimention.

I don't normally wear a flower in my hair ...

Welcome to my little workshop

I'm Diane (Di to most people), retired and I live in Hampshire, UK. The name Pixie's Crafty Workshop came about because my 'in-house critic' refers to 'The pixie being hard at work' whenever I'm playing with paper or other crafty stuff. And he's right, it's mostly when I should be doing other things :) I've always loved paper crafting - especially using scissors. Aged five and laid up with measles, in a fit of boredom I chopped my fringe right off! If it can be trimmed, then I'll trim it!
